Need a good high-pass Xover for Sonus REL


I have a REL Stadium III with a pair of Sonus Faber Concerto Monitors. REL reccomends running the main speakers full range, but people on Audiogon seem to disagree, and say I should limit the bass to the mains. I'd like to try that, but I have NO idea what crossover to use. Any reccomendations?

If you want to take the system up to the next level
The Vandersteen 5A High Pass units are the most transparent and simple solution you will find.
This is a big advantage with no downsides.
By high passing your system your amps distortion lowers dramatically cleaning up the whole system while not doubling up the bass frequencies. Once you experience
this level you will wonder why Rel didn't design it into
their subs in the first place.

It is obvious that you have never heard a properly designed
Battery bias High Pass even with the big boy amps it makes it easier on them. Also lowers the distortion,cleans up the mids,= better transparency cleaner better extended bass
Dynamic range improved coherence.
Let me know when you would like to hear one.
